Rolapp has been with the NFL for 22 years, and was widely believed to be a potential successor to commissioner Roger Goodell whenever he leaves his post.

Goodell sent a memo to all team executives and presidents to notify them of Rolapp’s departure on Thursday. The Tour has not confirmed the news, which came in the middle of the opening round of the U.S. Open. That major championship is run by the United States Golf Association and is separate from the Tour.
Monahan has held his post as the Tour’s commissioner since 2017, when he replaced longtime commissioner Tim Finchem. Monahan is just the fourth commissioner in the Tour’s history. He stepped away briefly from his post in 2023 due to an undisclosed health issue, which came just a week after his announcement that the Tour was entering negotiations to join forces with LIV Golf — something that drew an immense amount of criticism from both inside the Tour and out.
Monahan and the Tour are still in negotiations with LIV Golf, which came after years of turmoil in the sport and Monahan’s strong condemnation of the Saudi Arabian-backed league. It’s unclear if such a deal will get done, however, as the two sides are well past their self-imposed deadline.

The Tour announced last year that it would begin looking for a new CEO to work alongside Monahan, and that the job would be tasked with growing the commercial side of the business.
The Tour has since launched a new for-profit arm, PGA Tour Enterprises, in an effort to compete with LIV Golf. PGA Tour Enterprises received an initial investment of $1.5 billion from the Strategic Sports Group to get off the ground.
